Lemoine v. City of Shreveport

TALIAFERRO, Judge.

The city of Shreveport paved or caused to be paved the street adjacent to lots owned by J. J. Lyons therein. Thereafter, by ordinance, said paving was accepted, liability of the abutting lots for its cost fixed, and assessment levied therefor. This ordinance was registered in the mortgage records, but not within the ten-day period required by section 7 of Act No. 168 of 1926, and, therefore the lien created by its registry did not prime pre-existing encumbrances against the lots. City of Shreveport v. Urban Land Company, 177 La. 357, 148 So. 256; Id. (La. App.) 146 So. 894.
